    Orogenic Gold Deposit

    Uploaded by

    Dwi Lekatompessy
    This document provides an overview of orogenic gold deposits. Key points include: - Orogenic gold deposits form during mountain building events over 3 billion years of Earth's history. They are common in metamorphic belts from the Archean to the Phanerozoic. - The deposits are characterized by quartz veins with ≤3-5% sulfide minerals and ≤5-15% carbonate. Associated alteration includes chlorite, albite, and fuchsite in greenstone-hosted environments. - Favorable environments for orogenic gold deposits include greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphism, proximity to major crustal structures, and reactivation

    Orogenic Gold Deposits
    Endapan emas orogenic ini telah terbentuk selama lebih dari 3 milyar tahun dari
    sejarah bumi. Waktunya, selama Arkean ke Prakambrium dan terus-menerus
    sepanjang Fanerozoikum.

    Observasi yang telah dilakukan pada sabuk sekishijau Archaean hingga sabuk
    metamorfik Phanerozoik mengindikasikan adanya asosiasi emas pada fasies
    sekishijau.

    Late Archean (2.7 to 2.55 Ga)
    Early Proterozoic (2.1 to 1.8 Ga)
    Late Proterozoic (700 to 600 Ma)

    Vein Mineralogy
    Endapan orogenik dicirikan dengan, vein yang dominan
    kuarsa dengan mineral sulfida 3-5% (umumnya sulfida
    Fe) dan mineral karbonat 5-15%.

    Mineral albit, fushsite, klorit, scheelite dan turmalin

    Vein Textures
    Textures represent the local deformation process and vary according to the nature of the host
    structure (extensional vs. compressional).

    Extensional veins typically display quartz and carbonate fibres at a high angle to the vein walls
    and with multiple stages of mineral growth

    Compressional laminated veins are composed of massive, fine-grained quartz. When present in
    laminated veins, fibres are subparallel to the vein walls

    Vein as open space infill and altered wall rock as replacements

    Orogenic Gold Deposits
    Alteration
    Proximal to distal assemblages

    Scale and intensity of alteration function of system depth and wall rock composition

    Best developed in ultramafic and greenstone hosts

    In sediment-hosted systems, alteration is narrow and discrete enveloping the mineralization

    Proximal alteration sulphide minerals (py-po-aspy) and alkali-rick silicates (sericite, fuschite,
    albite, biotite) -white clay alteration

    Distal alteration carbonate minerals (lower temperature varieties) with quartz

    Amphibolite, diopside, plagioclase and garnet present with lesser carbonate in +amphibolite-grade
    hosts


    Orogenic Gold Deposits
    Regional Metamorphism
    Host rocks are typically metamorphosed to greenschist faces, with local amphibolite and granulte
    facies conditions

    Mineralization preferentially developed in metamorphic gradients (with greenschist or greenschist
    to amphibolite)

    Ore forming alteration products typically
    overprinted on regional metamorphic mineralogy
    Orogenic Gold Deposits
    Favorable Regional & District Targeting Criteria
    1. Complex lithostratigraphy with competency contrasts

    2. Isolation of competent units within incompetent units

    3. Greenschist to greenschist-amphibolite transition facies metamorphism

    4. Subjacent to major, crustal-scale structure

    5. Lamprophyre and porphyry dikes

    6. Fe-rich host-rocks and-or early magnetite alteration

    7. Anticlines and domal structures

    8. Flexures (dilational jogs) in major structural trends

    9. Reactivation of earlier structures especially thrusts by strike-slip movement,
    either late in the orogenic cycle or as a later overprinting event
